link in the video description coming hot off the heels of Dell's announcement of
0:13
their 8K monitor at CES 2017 Dell has
0:17
revealed their very first HDR monitor the
0:20
up2718q and hdr10 standard monitor that
0:23
seems to be well speec to meet the needs of many creative professionals wanting a
0:27
color accurate monitor that has HDR capability ities the up 201718 Q Sports
0:32
a fairly standard layout of IO with two HDMI ports one full-size DisplayPort
0:37
One mini DisplayPort and two usbb ports for the four USB 3 ports strategically
0:43
placed around the monitor the up 2718 Q
0:46
has a peak brightness of a th000 nits fitting within the requirements for
0:50
hdr10 as well as a wide range in its color spectrum it has a 10-bit panel
0:54
with 100% Adobe RGB and srgb coverage
0:58
100% Rex 709 97.7% of DCI P3 and 77% of Rec 2020 each
1:06
monitor will come factory calibrated so there will be minimal fuss out of the
1:09
box however the L for the monitor can also be changed to better suit your
1:13
personal needs through Dell's software so for those of you who are working
1:18
together in large teams on say a film or large print project each monitor can be
1:23
guaranteed to be running the same color settings workstation to workstation
1:26
ensuring consistency across multiple users adding to that you can also
1:31
conveniently use something like the i1 display Pro to fill in some of the
1:34
parameters that would usually require manual calibration making the entire
1:38
process a little bit easier Dell seems to be checking all the boxes necessary
1:43
for those of us who want to start diving into HDR workflows though it is still
1:47
very early days for HDR's adoption and even the folks at Dell's Booth admit
1:51
that HDR is a standard regarding official GPU support is currently a tad
1:55
bewildering we can only hope that HDR's adoption becomes a little bit easier to
2:00
understand as time goes on so thank you guys for watching let me know what you
